Camden After the Fall by Howard Gillette

Camden After the Fall by Howard Gillette

Camden After the Fall chronicles the history of a classic post-industrial American city and points toward a sustained urban revitalization strategy for the twenty-first century.

"A fascinating and frequently eloquent exploration of the city's history since World War II"—Camden Courier Post

"A thorough, well-researched, and important book. Through a careful analysis of people and politics, Gillette challenges the accepted narrative of postwar urban decline. The story of Camden is of special consequence to urban historians, historians of late twentieth-century U.S. political economy, and students of contemporary urban policy. Gillette is certainly the person to tell that story."—Robert Self, Brown University

"The best study so far about the virtual collapse in the late twentieth century of South Jersey's largest city."—New York Times

"With keen insight, Howard Gillette movingly details how de-industrialization, suburbanization, racial isolation, and political exploitation reduced Camden from industrial powerhouse to America's third poorest city. Through the rich biography of one city, Camden's fall could be the story of the half-century decline of many industrial cities and their struggles to revive, just more so. Camden After the Fall will become a classic in the field of urban history."—David Rusk, author of Inside Game/Outside Game: Winning Strategies for Saving Urban America

"A masterly narrative. . . . An invaluable primer to understanding the dynamics, parameters, institutions, and politics of urban renewal after the Great Society."—Journal of American History

"A masterly narrative of the twists and turns of Camden's renewal politics from the perspective of local politicians, regional and state power brokers, and citizens groups."—Journal of American History
